The Mongolian Death Worm, known to Mongolia’s nomadic tribesmen as the allghoi khorkhoi (sometimes given as allerghoi horhai or olgoj chorchoj) or ‘intestine worm’ for its resemblance to a sort of living cow’s intestine. It is said to be red in colour, and is sometimes described as having darker spots or blotches, and sometimes said to bear spiked projections at both ends. They are said to be thick bodied and between 2 and 5 feet long. snip.....

The creature is reported to be able to spray an acid like substance that causes death instantly. It is also claimed that this creature has the ability to kill from a distance with some sort of super charged electrical charge. Numerous Mongolians have reported seeing this creature including a Mongolian Premier. The creature is reported to hibernate during most of the year except for June and July when it becomes active.

It is believed that touching any part of the worm will bring instant death, and its venom supposedly corrodes metal. Local folklore also tells of a predilection for the color yellow and local parasitic plants such as the Goyo. It is also believed that the worm likes to get out on the ground generally after the rain, when the ground is still wet.

There have been a few expeditions out looking for this creature from the U.S. and other countries.

This Death Worm isn't new, we've had reports for many years. Laterly scientest have come to believe it might be a limbless reptile. I believe if a party is too big, it won't show itself. The tribes have told outsiders that this creature is capable of killing camels.

Perhaps we could use them to power hybrid cars. They could sit in the passenger side and you could drive in the commuter lane. Have a problem with a road rage driver. Just sick death worm on them and they will become fuel! Cell phone abusers, bicycles, will work for food please help. All of these could become cheap renewable energy.

I think the show Monsterquest did a search for these. Took them something like two days of travel through extremely remote regions to get to the area the latest sitings had come from. A village that had been completely abandoned because of them. They didn't really find a lot of evidence for a lot of the myths about these, but there was something out there that they where unable to catch on camera.

The Almas are another "mythilogical" creature from Mongolia that I'd love to find out more about. It's been hypothesized that their a survivng clan of Neanderthal.
